NAME POE::Test::Loops - Reusable tests for POE::Loop authors SYNOPSIS #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Getopt::Long; use POE::Test::Loops; my ($dir_base, $flag_help, @loop_modules, $flag_verbose); my $result = GetOptions( 'dirbase=s' => \$dir_base, 'loop=s' => \@loop_modules, 'verbose' => \$flag_verbose, 'help' => \$flag_help, ); if ( !$result or !$dir_base or $flag_help or !@loop_modules ) { die( "$0 usage:\n", " --dirbase DIR (required) base directory for tests\n", " --loop MODULE (required) loop modules to test\n", " --verbose show some extra output\n", " --help you're reading it\n", ); } POE::Test::Loops::generate($dir_base, \@loop_modules, $flag_verbose); exit 0; DESCRIPTION POE::Test::Loops contains one function, generate(), which will generate all the loop tests for one or more POE::Loop subclasses. The "SYNOPSIS" example is a version of poe-gen-tests, which is a stand-alone utility to generate the actual tests. poe-gen-tests also documents the POE::Test::Loops system in more detail. FUNCTIONS generate( $DIRBASE, \@LOOPS, $VERBOSE ) Generates the loop tests. DIRBASE is the (relative) directory in which a subdirectory for each of the LOOPS is created. If VERBOSE is set to a TRUE value some progress reporting is printed. POE::Test::Loops::generate( "./t", [ "POE::Loop::Yours" ], 1, ); SEE ALSO POE::Loop and poe-gen-tests.
